    Ravi, I did some digging on this and you are correct in your assumption,

    You can configure the Vmware based policy to protect Exchange 2013 - you simply do not have the GRT functionality, (thats until 7.6.0.3). So you should be able (as you said) recover from Storage Group level back into the Exchnage environment on that setup.

If not mistaken, ticking the Exchange Option within The Vmware policy is invoking GRT, so for your combination Exchange 2013 v GRT v 7.5x - is still not supported.

If you are not ready to upgrade, to support your Exchange environment you need to install the NBU Agent on the client host directly create a policy using the Exchange Client Type. (not Vmware)
